Este proyecto, beneficiario de la convocatoria lanzada por el Fondo de Arte Joven (FAJ) para artistas visuales en 2023, recoge aproximadamente 45 instantáneas tomadas en el poblado de Bejucal, reconocido por su historia y tradiciones culturales.

Organizado por el Fondo de Arte Joven y UNICEF Cuba, en el marco de los 80 años de las Naciones Unidas, este evento replicó por primera vez fuera de La Habana la experiencia de la primera edición, con la dirección musical de Janio Abreu, multiinstrumentista de vientos, compositor, arreglista y profesor, director musical del Concurso.

The second edition of the National Music Competition also seeks to generate a positive impact on the artistic and professional training of this population, contributing to the creation of inclusive environments and opportunities that support the exercise of the right of children and adolescents to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.

The presentation of the book "La dirección orquestal sinfónica y su expresión en Cuba" (Symphonic orchestral conducting and its expression in Cuba) took place in an intimate evening, surrounded by pupils, family members, young musicians and students.

The Fondo de Arte Joven (FAJ), the Museo Nacional de la Música and maestro Guido López-Gavilán, have the honor to announce the presentation of the book La dirección orquestal sinfónica y su expresión en Cuba (Symphonic Orchestral Conducting and its Expression in Cuba).

The Oratory, witness of centuries, welcomed this miracle with its groined vaults: another afternoon in which Havana, against all odds, continues to be the capital of the impossible.

With this distinction, the French Ministry of Culture honors a double vocation: that of a pianist of excellence and that of a cultural manager of trajectory.

Two years ago, when the Youth Art Fund (YAF) was just a dream, we aspired to build an inclusive and dynamic space where young artists and cultural entrepreneurs could explore, experiment and express their creativity.

The YAF continues its commitment to support and make visible the work of young artists taking their first steps in the art world, with a special focus on women.

On March 7, we discussed the challenges and potentialities that women who lead projects encounter during the panel "Women who create the future: the potential of women entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative industries in the Caribbean".
